Every hero movie needs a party

WHO: Anyone and everyone
WHERE: Some Ballroom
WHAT: PARTAY! AKA the Fundraiser Padme is throwing to raise money for Tony's philanthropic oopsie
WHEN: mid-April
WARNINGS: Nothing in general. Potential for villain violence.

((ooc: This is a general mingle post. Go forth and do whatever you want! I've set the scene for the party but what you do in it is up to you! Want to party and schmooze with some rich folks? Go for it! Want to be a bad guy and try to steal shit from under said rich people's noses? Fabulous! Want to be a hero and stop said bad guys. Awesome! Want to brood and sulk like the dark angsty DC character you've always wanted to be? You do you, boo. Go forth and have fun!))

Maybe you're well to do in the city. Maybe you just know a guy who knows a guy. Or maybe you just have the right connections and heard it through the grapevine. One way or another, you've heard about the party of the month. Padme Naberrie Amidala, on behalf of the Stark Industries Board of Directors, has planned the finest fundraising event of her career to help pay for the new wing on the children's hospital... And maybe some starving children Tony wants to save.

Arrival

The entrance sets the stage for the whole event. Lit posts leading up to a wide circular doorway. The red carpet from the sidewalk is lined with paparazzi looking to snap some primo pictures of the attendees. Pose for the cameras, mingle, or just grab a drink from one of the waitstaff as you head inside.

Dinner is Served

The tables are set with fine place settings and beautiful center pieces. Most of the room is decked out in black and white, so as to not draw attention to the lovely colored gowns worn by many of the attendees. The gourmet meal has several options to satisfy everyone. The deserts are even more elaborate. Grab a bite and socialize. Or steal a seat or a plate when no one's looking. I'm not the boss of you.

Time to Socialize

There might not be a formal dance floor but the string quintet is playing some lovely music while the guests mingle. Now's the time to grab a glass of champagne or something from the bar. Snag some fancy looking hors d'oeuvres from a wandering server and spend time with your fellow citizens of this fine city.

Auction!

It is a fundraiser, after all. Aside from the cost to get in (unless you're a filthy freeloader who snuck in the back door), there is also a silent auction set up for attendees. But there are no gift baskets or wreathes in this auction. Nay, my friends. There is a reason there are guards at the door. This auction includes such things as Rolex watches, diamond necklaces, ski trips to the Andes and other fancy rich people things.

But the cherry on top is Tony Stark's contribution. A car that mysterious billionaire Din Djarin is rumored to have his eye on. The car has somehow been brought into the event and is on display for anyone to admire. But remember, that car did belong to Tony Stark, so none of you villains even think about trying to steal it!

The Bar

Every formal event has to have a bar for people tired of champagne or those who just want to be antisocial and run away for a while. Does this really need any more description than that?

Richie rolls his eyes but is grinning. Peter reminds him a lot of himself, just younger. He lets out a laugh at the response shakes his head.

Dude, you might still get kicked out in a shitty red shirt like that. Thank God you can talk your way out of anything. If you had my problem you'd probably be in so much shit all the time your nickname would be Dung Beetle.

Hey, what if talking my way out of things WAS my superpower? Wouldn't that be something? I still don't know why the hell I don't have one, it seems like everyone else in the world does.

He sends the text off rapidfire, swiping his finger to make the words, as he savors one of those free glasses of champagne. He can't remember the last time he had champagne. Maybe it had been Craig's wedding, at this rate. Probably. Then again, there had been a lot of drinks at Craig's wedding. The guys had been pretty damn happy together. It was one of the reasons he and Richie were so close, he figured: he had never batted an eye when his friend had come out to him, because Craig had been out of the closet for years.

You want me to try and get anyone's number for you? I see some cute dudes wandering around. I could get you a sugar daddy.

Richie flushes a little and scans the bar for wherever Eddie has gotten off to. When he sees his head in the crowd, Richie points him out and can't keep the stupid grin off his face.

See that guy? I kind of already got his number a few days ago. Guy is completely out of my league but somehow is still gonna go out on a date with me. Name's Eddie. Didn't even seem that thrown off when I couldn't talk.

His smile widens and he snorts a laugh.

Just don't lend him a car. He's got like a curse when it comes to them. Had like a hundred totaled this week. and I am NOT driving you around town if he gets yours killed.

If he can't keep a car he's not out of your league, you're about matched. He can't keep a car, you can't hold a conversation, those seem pretty equal to me.

He started to slowly weave through the crowd, trying to make it look natural, like he wasn't making a direct beeline for the guy. Clearly, Richie needed a wingman...

STOP! YOU STOP RIGHT THERE! LOOK AT YOUR PHONE! DON'T YOU DARE GO OVER TO HIM!

Richie stood there, stumped as PJ walked over since he couldn't shout without putting have the dancefloor down and running after him would just make it obvious they were together. Surefire way to get his friend kicked out and Richie wasn't no snitch. Still, he glared at the back of his head.

You're gonna sleep for the next week, mark my words. I'll call you in the middle of a date and make you pass out in your soup. Hope you drown.
puddledancer: (how does this work)

I LOL'D
